The story he told me almost made me cry at first, but later it just made my mind spin. I couldn’t shake it off, and I started overthinking. Read it below, in this week’s edition of @thecontinent_ https://t.co/VQi57WK3Vo

and he looked slightly annoyed that they were not really listening to his speech. So, a little later, I called him aside and asked him to tell me a true story about the construction of the bridge, one that I couldn’t find on Wikipedia but was true.

WATCH HOW HUMANS CAN TALK TO THE DIVINE .... I never use capital letters but I've never needed to shout so loud I'm sharing a 10 minute conversation with my divine plasmate where we play games together and it blows kisses for me and changes colour on demand I've been

This year, I saw Victoria Falls for the first time. It really is Mosi-oa-Tunya, the smoke that thunders, more majestic than you could imagine. Our tour guide was telling us all the important facts about the bridge that connects both sides of the gorge. Everyone was distracted

Thank you @chris_mungai for your courageous and powerful words. For listening to victims& staying with this story even when it seemed it would not be published. Without your commitment to telling the painful truth he would still be teaching at AGHS 💙

It's evident that the Interior CS has been hell bent on getting back at BBC since Blood Parliament, at whatever cost, but to categorically deny the existence of one of the most heinous crimes in Kenyan history is a new low. And for what?

Cryptocurrency mining is on track to consume a third of Ethiopia’s total power output this year (!) But the drain on the national grid seems to have forced the Ethiopian Electric Power to reconsider giving such access to miners. Anyone with Kenya numbers? https://t.co/Gd6o9kswCn

It is the use of scare tactics, constant harassment of @bonifacemwangi and his family against the blindness to actual injustices perpetrated against him. The “coincidental” spread of misinformation about him and others at the same time. The weaponizing of the law. The pressure to

Comrades, @bonifacemwangi is now missing. We lost the @DCI_Kenya cars in traffic and when we got to the DCI headquarters on Kiambu road, we were told they’re not here. His whereabouts are now unknown. Let the @DCI_Kenya tell Kenyans where they’ve taken @bonifacemwangi.

Standing in solidarity with @bonifacemwangi We’re presently standing guard with him at his office as the @DCI_Kenya officers are ransacking every corner of the office. #ActivistsAreNotTerrorists #ActivistsAreNotTerrorists #ActivistsAreNotTerorrists

It’s called compassion fatigue, it’s also part of a tyrant’s playbook, overwhelm them with sadness and sad news that it becomes the norm rather than abnormal.

Very worrying trend of arrests and capital Offences charges.

I believe in revolutions but I do not believe in revolutionaries. People are just people and most when pedestalized will inevitably disappoint if not become actual tyrants. The goal should be to build systems that work for the people and that don't need strongmen or heroes to run

Kenyans are just ... 👍👍👍

The Kenyan flag is lowered in sorrow more than it’s flown high as a symbol of pride. Once a national emblem and a symbol of hope now a funeral wreath of dreams cut short.

I’ve watched addictions, hurts and suicides build up over time. I’ve also been ignored and dismissed multiple times when I raised concerns during those build ups. I feel like I’m watching them again at national and institutional levels. Does anyone else feel this?

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Do you know how many unbroken chains of enabling that led to this president? To Peter Ayiro? To other bad actors? What is it about our culture that lets us be okay with being manipulated even when we notice it? Why don’t we protect each other by refusing harmful behaviours?
